She was in the Peace Corps and, though she wasn't around a lot, always tried to educate my siblings and me on things wordly. She would always bring us cool things from the places she visited. It was always super fun to see her.

The book is available on-line through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, E-Bay etc.

Dear Mods, I am "sharing" more than "selling" on here because you guys are part of my extended-family and I wanted to share our excitement with all of you. I put it here because I wasn't sure if it would get noticed in the entertainment section. If this is wrong, please move it. THANKS!...

New works by Paul Schrader, William T. Vollman, and Richard Powers grapple with meaningful living under environmental collapse.

Over the last few months, three of our most feted artists — two National Book Award winners, Richard Powers and William T. Vollmann, and one Hollywood legend, Paul Schrader — have taken on the subject, and considering their work as a whole, it’s hard not to feel that we’re entering another stage in the evolution of...

Although many scientists/researchers feel that this event is the Sixth Sign of the coming Apocalypse, the fine people at Amazon have decided to carry the book anyway -and it is now available for purchase. You can purchase The Perfume Alibi at all the usual suspect-type places (Barnes & Nobel, etc.) + through Kindle, Nook & Apple as an ebook - or you can click on my "signature/banner" at the bottom of the page and go to my...

E-books may be convenient and cheap, but they aren't displacing paper just yet, at least in the hearts and minds of college kids. That's what Naomi Baron, linguistics professor at American University, found out as part of the research she conducted for her new book, "Words Onscreen: The Fate of...

Superhero comics have long relied on final-page cliffhangers: Our hero is … dead? The bomb timer only has … one second left? Could it be that … we’ve traveled back in time? The goal, of course, is to shock readers into buying the next issue, and presumably that’s what comics scribe...
